My point is that it's not really possible to have *grub* without playing
tricks (maybe not dirty ones).
Sure, I'm not arguing to the contrary :)
Yes, I think we're both trying to say the same thing: there's no
point having 'grub' in the repositories as its not installable or
usable in practise. The same goes for bunch of other obsoleted
packages as well.
Are there other obsoleted packages in the F18 repo?
Yes there are, see
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/buildsys/2012-November/004004.html
for a few examples of obsoleted packages that are not only in the
repositories but getting pulled into DVD images too (or at least were at
the time, haven't looked after that).
Is there a good way to
look for them and to clean them up before release?
Should be doable with repoquery, but a custom script is likely to do a
better job. I can have a look when I'm a bit more awake than now, its
not exactly rocket science anyway.
